NOAA raises hurricane season prediction despite expected El Niño

This year’s Atlantic hurricane season got off to a busy start, with 6 named storms, and may have a busy second half, according to the updated hurricane season outlook issued NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center, a division of the National Weather Service.

The updated outlook still indicates a 50 percent chance of a near-normal season, but increases the chance of an above-normal season to 35 percent and decreases the chance of a below-normal season to only 15 percent from the initial outlook issued in May.
